This in depth comparative study is one of the first books to fully
explore the emergence of modern Western-style hospitals in China.
The author disscusses how the hospital established in China -- its
planning and architecture, financing, and all aspects of day-to-day
operation -- differed from its counterpart in the West. These
differences were never due to a single or dominant cause. They were
a result of a complex process involving accommodation,
appreciation, negotiation, opportunism and pragmatism. Doctors were
trying to balance the pressures of the political, cultural,
economic and physical realities in China whilst maintaining their
own professional standards. story. It enriches the history of the
Western hospital by describing its manifestation beyond the West.
Also, being a place where ordinary Americans met ordinary Chinese
in the most intimate of circumstances, the hospital provides a
unique window into the economic, political, cultural and social
conditions of life in China at the time.
